A documentary by Mother London following the trials and tribulations of five internet addicts who go offline for a week.
…have we become addicted to the internet? And if we have, what would happen if 5 digital natives were forced to go cold turkey for a week? Would it be reminiscent of a scene from Trainspotting? Or would they regress to some kind of IRL utopia?

The Irish government has sent letters to approximately 6,000 unemployed people suggesting they should take jobs in other European countries in an effort to reduce unemployment benefits, the Financial Times has reported.
Some of the jobs were poorly paid but came with a “Mediterranean” climate.
An unemployed electrician was encouraged to move to Coventry, while another jobseeker was offered work as a bus driver in Malta.
Dublin defended the move insisting that the positions are voluntary and no one is being forced to leave the country.

The beautiful perspex FPTIF award was designed by James M Chimney inspired by Celtic mythology. “Chompsky represents Cú Chulainn’s hound”. James avers. ” I have used the original bad-leg Chompsky because I was using an old file as a nod to tradition.”
